1 WSU WILKE RESEARCH AND EXTENSION FARM OPERATION, PRODUCTION, AND ECONOMIC PERFORMANCE FOR 2013 Washington State Oilseed Cropping Systems Series By Aaron Esser, WSU Lincoln-Adams Area Extension, Derek Appel, WSU Lincoln-Adams Area Extension TB02 Page 1 ext.wsu.edu TB02
2 WSU Wilke Research and Extension Farm Operation, Production, and Economic Performance for 2013 Current Situation The WSU Wilke Research and Extension Farm is a 320-acre facility located on the eastern edge of Davenport, Washington, and is split (north and south) by State Hwy 2. Washington State University maintains and operates this facility. This technical bulletin is an annual document designed for farmers and crop consultants in the intermediate cropping zone (12 to 17 inches of annual precipitation). It is also provides documentation of the operations and production on the Wilke Farm to assist university faculty with small-plot research experiments. The Wilke Farm remains in a direct seed cropping system utilizing no-till fallow, winter wheat, and spring cereals. Broadleaf crops remain a viable option and are substituted for spring and winter cereals when weed pressures and market prices create opportunities for profitable production. The predominant cropping system practiced by farmers in this region is a 3-year rotation that includes summer fallow, winter wheat, and spring cereals. Farmers are interested in intensifying rotations to reduce fallow years and increasing crop diversity to improve long-term agronomic and economic stability. The south side of the farm is divided into seven plots with three plots in a more traditional 3-year crop rotation, and four plots in an intensified 4-year crop rotation. The north side of the farm remains in an intensified rotation that forgoes summer fallow, and is in a continuous cereal grain production. In 2010 through 2013, cereal rye (feral rye) infestations caused cropping decisions to be altered (changes are noted in red italic type in the data tables) on the Wilke Farm, especially in the no-till fallow winter wheat portion of the rotations. In the fall of 2013, the no-till fallow winter wheat portion of the rotation was seeded as planned according to the rotation without alteration because of cereal rye. Soil compaction and wireworm population data are collected each spring from GPS recorded locations within each plot. Soil samples are also collected from these GPS locations prior to seeding each plot, and fertilizer is applied according to soil sample results and WSU recommendations. Operation Winter wheat was seeded by Crop Production Service s Case IH direct-seed hoe drill with Anderson openers on 12-inch spacing. The spring crops were seeded with Kevin Klein s SeedMaster direct-seed hoe drill on 12-inch spacing. The farm was harvested with the farm s John Deere 6622 combine on August 16 through 27. TB02 Page 2 ext.wsu.edu Winter Wheat (3-year Plot 7; 4-year Plot 1) Xerpha soft white winter wheat was seeded into Plot 7 on September 7, 2012 at 70 lb/ac into no-till fallow. It was treated with 0.33oz/cwt CruiserMaxx Cereals plus Vibrance. Anhydrous ammonium was applied below the seed at 70 lb N/ac. Liquid ammonium Thio-Sul, , ammonium polyphosphate, , and Power Up, were applied at a rate of with the seed. Post-emergence weed control and fungicide application were applied on April 24, This application included 3.5 oz/ac PowerFlex, 16.0 oz/ac Truslate, 10.0 oz/ac Brox -M, 4.0 oz/ac Tilt, 10.0 oz/ac T-Methyl, and 1.25 lb/ac spray grade fertilizer. Postharvest weed control was applied on October 4, and this application was 12.0 oz/ac Alecto 41S (glyphosate) and 1.0 qt/100 gal M-90. Spring Wheat (3-year Plot 2; 4-year Plot 6) Diva soft white spring wheat was seeded into Plot 1 instead of winter wheat for cereal rye management. It was seeded into spring canola residue on April 15, 2013, at 70 lb/ac. It was treated with 0.33oz/cwt CruiserMaxx Cereals and 1.0 oz/cwt Nipsit Inside. Anhydrous ammonium was applied below the seed at 51 lb N/ac, and liquid ammonium thiosulfate, and NACHURS were applied at a rate of with the seed. Prior to seeding spring wheat on April 14, 32.0 oz/ac RT3, 16 oz/ac 2,4-D, 1.5 qt/100 gal Alliance, and 1.0 qt/100 gal Activate were applied. Post emergence weed control was applied on June 3. This application included 16.4 oz/ac Axial XL, 17.0 oz/ac Orion, 6.0 oz/ac Bison, and 4.0 oz/ac Tilt fungicide for stripe rust control. Glee Dark Northern Spring (DNS) wheat was seeded into winter wheat residue on April 16 at 70 lb/ac. It was treated with 0.66 oz/cwt CruiserMaxx Cereals. Anhydrous ammonium was applied below the seed at 91 lb N/ac. Both plots also had liquid ammonium thiosulfate, and NACHURS applied at a rate of with the seed. Prior to seeding on April 14, 32.0 oz/ac RT3, 1.5 qt/100 gal Alliance, and 1.0 qt/100 gal Activate were applied. Post emergence weed control/fungicide was applied on June 3. This application included 16.4 oz/ac Axial XL, 17.0 oz/ac Orion, 6.0 oz/ac Bison, and 4.0 oz/ac Tilt for stripe rust control. Spring Barley (Continuous; North) Lenetah spring barley was seeded and fertilized in one pass on April 15 into spring wheat residue. The crop was seeded 70 lb/ac and it was treated with 1.33 oz/cwt CruiserMaxx Cereals plus 1.0 oz/cwt Nipsit Inside.
3 Higher rates of wireworm control were used despite low trapping pressure because of two specific areas in the field with observed wireworm damage the previous crop year. Anhydrous ammonium was applied below the seed at 71 lb N/ac, and liquid ammonium thiosulfate, and NACHURS was applied at a rate of with the seed. Prior to seeding April 12, 32.0 oz/ac RT3, 1.5 qt/100 gal Alliance, and 1.0 qt/100 gal Activate was applied. Postemergence weed control/fungicide was applied on June 1. This application included 16.4 oz/ac Axial XL, 17.0 oz/ac Orion, and 6.0 oz/ac Bison. No-till Fallow (3-year Plot 5; 4-year Plot 4) No-till fallow was maintained relatively weed free with 4 herbicide applications in both plots 4 and 5. The first application on May 1 was 24.0 oz/ac RT3, 1.0 oz/ac Sharpen, 8.3 lb/100 gal AMS, and 1.0 qt/100 gal NIS. The second application on July 18 was 32 oz/ac RT3, 1.0 oz/ac Sharpen, 4.0 qt/100 gal MSO, and 5.0 qt/100 gal UAN. The third application on June 12 was 32.0 oz/ac RT3 and 15 lb/100 gal AMS Max. The fourth and final application of 48 oz/ac Gromoxone SL and 1 qt/100 gal NIS was applied on September 4. Spring Canola (4-year Plot 3) A mixture of 3 varieties; DKL 45-51, DKL 55-55, and Hyclass 955 Roundup Ready spring canola varieties were seeded and fertilized in one pass on April 17, into spring wheat residue at 5 lb/ac. Anhydrous ammonium was applied below the seed at 51 lb N/ac, and liquid ammonium thiosulfate, and NACHURS was applied at a rate of with the seed. Prior to seeding on April 14, 32.0 oz/ac RT3, 1.5 qt/100 gal Alliance, and 1.0 qt/100 gal Activate was applied. Postemergence weed control included 16.0 oz/ac Roundup PowerMax and 15 lb/100 gal AMS Max on May 25, for both broadleaf and grassy weed control. Assure II at 8 oz/ac and 1 qt/100 gal NIS was applied on June 5, for additional grassy weed control. On August 4, 16.0 oz/ac Spodnam was applied by airplane to help reduce pod shatter. Soil Compaction Soil compaction data are collected from five GPS recorded data points within each plot in the spring of the year prior to seeding. This monitors compaction levels over-time, within a given crop rotation, and potential management decisions. Data were not collected in Plot 7 in 2013 because of an equipment malfunction. Plot 3 had the least amount of compaction, with an average of 192 psi/18 inches, and Plot 3 had the greatest compaction average with 239 psi/18 inches (Figure 1). North and Plots 1, 5, 2 and 4 compaction averaged 225, 227, 229, 231, 233 psi/18 inches, respectively. Figure 1. Soil compaction data collected in the spring of the year from the plots at the WSU Wilke Research and Extension Farm in TB02 Page 3 ext.wsu.edu
4 Wireworm Populations Plots 1, 3, 2, 5, and 6 averaged 0.8, 1.3, 4.6, 5.7 and 5.8/trap respectively. Wireworm population data are collected from five GPS recorded data points within each plot in the spring of the year prior to seeding, using the modified solar bait trap method (Esser 2012). This is done to monitor populations over time and better match seed applied insecticide with populations. No data were collected from Plot 7, as it was already seeded to winter wheat. North had the least amount of wireworms, averaging 0.3/trap, and Plot 4 had the greatest population averaging 6.4/trap. Soil Samples Table 1. Winter Wheat, 3-year Plot 7 Table 2. Winter Wheat, 4-year Plot 1 Table 3. Spring Wheat, 3-year Plot 2 TB02 Page 4 ext.wsu.edu All soil samples were collected prior to seeding. Soil samples are used to help determine yield potential and nutrient requirements for the crops each year. They are also used for a historical reference for changing soil conditions over time.
